How we handle bath re-enamelling in Chegworth

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. If you are dealing with a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can help.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes the best part of a day.

First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.

How to prepare

Let us know about parking or access
Keep a parking space free if you can
Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

What the surface is made of
Unusual colours or finishes
Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
How easy the damage is to reach

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

A wider photo showing the entire bath
Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
The material, if you know it
Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Chegworth

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will the bath be moved?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you come to Chegworth?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Chegworth from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Wash away dyes and oils after use
Never use suction bath mats

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Should you replace it?

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Chegworth. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
